Dollar sales in the carbonated soft drink (CSD) category totaled $18.3 billion for food, drug and mass merchandise retailers including Walmart for the 52 weeks ending April 14, according to data from Nielsen, New York City.

The dotted lines indicate the regions of possible spectral features: amorphous carbon at 6 and 14 µm in R CrB (Lambert et al. 2001) and a possible, unidentiﬁed feature near 8 µm in all three.

R CrB Candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Observations of Cold, Featureless Dust with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph

The main effect of axial rotation on the evolution of massive PopIII stars is to trigger internal mixing processes which allow stars to produce signi ﬁcant amounts of primary n itrogen 14 and carbon 13.

SPINSTARS at low metallicities

However, these unusual properties may be explained either by an unusual thick circumstellar carbon shell or by a location beyond the Bulge at a maximum distance of ∼ 14 kpc.

Carbon Nanotubes in Biology and Medicine: in vitro and in vivo Detection, Imaging and Drug Delivery

Experimentally Li-intercalation has been proposed by Viro janadara et al.14 who showed that Li, as a highly reactive lightweight monovalent metal, can penetrate the strongly-bound carbon-rich layer and position on top of the SiC substrate.

This event (Figure 14.6) was, in many respects, a carbon copy of the March 5 ﬂare.

Figure 14 shows the magnetic moment of a disordered carbon sample before, just after proton irradiation and after one year at room temperature (after irradiation).

Induced Magnetic Order by Ion Irradiation of Carbon-Based Structures

The degree of condensation f of carbon into carbon dust does not approach unity (see Fig. 14), since it is assumed that 20 to 40% of the carbon in molecular clouds forms CO and then is no more available for dust condensation.

Evolution of interstellar dust and stardust in the solar neighbourhood

Contrarely to the other group-14 clathrates (Si, Ge and Sn), the synthesis of the carbon clathrates remains a challenge up to now even if the deposition of C20 or C36 networks, which basic units have a comparable size to the ones of the carbon clathrates, have been prepared6,7 .

This allowed the spectrum to be studied up to a proton-proton excitation energy Epp ≈ 14 MeV when neutrons from reactions on the carbon in the target contributed.

Review of quasi-elastic charge-exchange data in the nucleon-deuteron breakup reaction

It has also been suggested by Tuominen et al.14 , who studied a macroscopic electromechanical system at room temperature, that carbon nanotubes connected to nanoscale metallic grains15,16 , could be used for this purpose.

Even if the data are insuﬃcient to determine the absorption and emission bands of typical grains, we suggest that the feature at ∼ 30 µm is not so rare, since it was discovered from ground based observations in 63 Galactic ob jects : 36 evolved carbon stars, 14 PPNe, and 13 PNe (Hony et al. 2002).

An analysis of infrared emission spectra from the regions near the Galactic Center

For carbon-ion radiotherapy, the radiation components need to be handled separately due to variability of relative biological effectiveness with particle charge and energy,14 for which the ﬂuence-correction factor for total dose would not suﬃce.
